Addiction recovery / home page

We have more than 100 NA meetings per week in the Central Ohio Area, and we are part of a worldwide Fellowship that has 67,000 meetings in over 130 countries. We offer a program of recovery from active drug addiction. Our simple message is that an addict, any addict, can stop using drugs, lose the desire to use, and find a new way to live. Our message is hope and the promise of freedom from active addiction. We also staff an Area Office where we make available literature and other items; scroll down for more info.

“Narcotics Anonymous is a nonprofit fellowship or society of men and women for whom drugs had become a major problem. We are recovering addicts who meet regularly to help each other stay clean. This is a program of complete abstinence from all drugs. There is only one requirement for membership, the desire to stop using. We suggest that you keep an open mind and give yourself a break. Our program is a set of principles written so simply that we can follow them in our daily lives. The most important thing about them is that they work.”

“There are no strings attached to NA. We are not affiliated with any other organizations, we have no initiation fees or dues, no pledges to sign, no promises to make to anyone. We are not connected with any political, religious, or law enforcement groups, and are under no surveillance at any time. Anyone may join us, regardless of age, race, sexual identity, creed, religion or lack of religion.”

“We are not interested in what or how much you used or who your connections were, what you have done in the past, how much or how little you have, but only in what you want to do about your problem and how we can help.”

Select NA Literature is available for purchase at our Area Office; see below for our hours and a downloadable price sheet.

If you are unable to travel then click here to be redirected to our NA Literature page. Here you will find information on free, downloadable NA literature, as well as purchasing options from NA’s United States online site for paper books and pamphlets, and options for purchasing eBooks from outside retailers.

COASCNA (Central Ohio Area Service Committee of NA) has an office near Downtown Columbus. Our Area Service Office is staffed by NA volunteers. Office hours are maintained throughout the week. NA members, other individuals, community groups and NA groups can drop in to pick up paper meeting schedules, and to buy literature, keytags and medallions. (NOTE: We accept checks and money orders only, made out to COAONA; we do not accept cash.) There is also a copier for making copies of fliers for your NA group.
